                     .Where(s => s.ScreenName== ScreenName && s.Type == StatusType.User && s.Count == 200)
                     .ToListAsync();

The Twitter API doesn't expose an endpoint that allows you to get mentions for any user with a screen name. However, you can get the mentions if you are authorized by the user for whom you want to get mentions for. Here's an example:

        var tweets =
            await
            (from tweet in twitterCtx.Status
             where tweet.Type == StatusType.Mentions &&
                   tweet.ScreenName == "JoeMayo"
             select tweet)
            .ToListAsync();

        PrintTweetsResults(tweets);
